Hello all: This is a repeat image, but this time I was able to use a
few more things in Photoshop to bring the image around to what
I saw with my eyes. Specifically, the sky looks much better, and
I was able to bring out the blue in the sky; also this is a bit less
saturated than the original. In effect, I think the saturation is now
probably negligible.
Take a look at the waterfall draining the small glacier up on the
flanks of the mountain. There is a meltwater lakelet below the
glacier that is the source of the waterfall. I spent a night by the
lakelet, and was able to sleep to the hiss of the water spilling down
the cliffside. I am going to look around to see if I can find the
Provia slide of the little lake. The scenery was very dynamic and
wild from the lakeside.
If you look carefully, you can see a bear just up from the lakeshore,
in the right middle part of the image, about 1 inch inside the right
border.
So anyway, I thought it wouldn't hurt to inject a little bit of summer
in the high country of the Olympic Mountains.
Hart Lake and Mount Duckabush

Those are a species of Arnica. They are present in the Olympic
Mountains in a huge variety of colors, and will grow in open areas
from sea level to timberline. The species you are looking at, is about
the last bloomer of the year. This image was taken in mid-September,
so it would not be too long before the first snows start falling. Sometimes
it will snow, and these late-blooming Arnica will still be flowering. Of
course, once the snow hits, that's it for the year.
This particular meadow would be full of Magenta Paintbrush and
Lupine (the defining species of flowers for this elevation) in August.
The Summer is very short here, and August equates to Spring
in the lowlands, equivalent to the month of May. Once the last
North Pacific high pressure ridge breaks down in late September,
or sometimes into late October, the rest of the year will show
about 300 inches of precipitaion equivalent, most of it falling
as snow. So...about 7.5 to 8 meters of rain equivalent yearly.
I've always like the pastel tones of Arnica. They are always a
good memory for me, and when I see Arnica in a florist's shop
I immediately think of the high country. _________________

I can only imagine what sense of immensity you must feel alone in those places... wow. It must be difficult to describe with words... _________________ Orio, Administrator

You nailed it Orio. That feeling of immensity, and the feeling of
traveling through that immensity, is a gratifying experience. It's
like an elixir that links water to sky and the the soul to Earth. I
can't get enough of it.
Regarding the bear, this was a good time to be around bears, because
they are so intent on feeding on the alpine dwarf blueberry bushes
(Vaccinium deliciosum) that they pay no attention to anything else.
That said, I STILL get that rush of adrenalin when a bear is quite close
like that, and it startled me when I first saw him only 50 feet away. Like
the immensity of nature stated above, there is an immensity of size,
and being on this animal's turf, that keeps me pretty humble and quiet. _________________

You are the master of your element my friend.
The penninsula is truly part of your soul and it seems you return that favor well.
Your Mountain and Beach landscapes are such honest representations.
It's the highest compliment you can give to such beauty.

What an amazing shot, Laurence. Fron an analytical standpoint, there are so many things that are right about this image, but I'd rather just sit here and let my right brain enjoy it and tell my left brain to shut up.
But I can't help it. Since nobody else has asked, I need to: camera and lens? You shoot with a 645 format camera as I recall? Or is it a Yashica Mat? Dang this memory anyway . . . _________________ Michael

I'm totally humbled by your replies. I only hope to instill a bit of this outstanding scenery from "being there" to "on the screen".
I am REALLY knocked-out that a couple of you actually acquired medium format systems because of a few images from me. In any case, I hope to see as many images as possible from your cameras. That is the best part of the forum to me - that we get to see others' images from all sorts of cameras.
To answer the one question - Yes this was with the Pentax 645, and the wide-angle 55mm lens (equivalent to about 35mm in the SLR35 focal). I cropped it on the sides, as there was some extraneous foliage that took away from the image. And this also helped to make the image "taller" in order to show from the ground to the sky. _________________
